Basis of preparation and principal accounting policies
The unaudited consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 have been
prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial
instruments, which are measured at revalued amount or fair values as appropriate.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the unaudited consolidated
results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are the same as those followed in the
preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2019.

In the current period, the Group has applied, for the first time, certain amendments to
Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong
Institute of Certified Public Accountants which are mandatory effective for the annual
period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 for the preparation of the Group’s unaudited
consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The adoption of these
amendments to HKFRSs does not have material impact on the Group’s results and
financial positions for the current or prior periods.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results
The Group recorded revenue of US$1,969.5 million in the three months ended March 31,
2020, representing a decrease of 20.6% compared to revenue of US$2,479.4 million
recorded in the same period of 2019. The loss attributable to owners of the Company
was US$56.3 million, compared to a profit attributable to owners of the Company of
US$75.5 million recorded in the same period of 2019. The fall in revenue and the loss
attributable to owners of the Company was mostly attributed to the 2019 Novel
Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which significantly impacted the Group’s
operations.

During the period, the Group recorded a non-recurring loss of US$20.2 million, which
included a loss of US$33.7 million due to fair value changes on financial instruments at
fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) that was partly offset by a one-off gain of
US$11.4 million on the partial disposal of an interest in a joint venture. In the same
period of 2019, the Group recorded a non-recurring profit of US$6.2 million, which
included a gain of US$5.9 million due to fair value changes on financial instruments at
FVTPL. Excluding all items of non-recurring in nature, the recurring loss attributable to
owners of the Company amounted to US$36.1 million.

                                           4
Revenue
Total revenue attributable to footwear manufacturing activity (including athletic shoes,
casual/outdoor shoes and sports sandals) during the period decreased by 8.9% to
US$1,169.4 million, whereas the volume of shoes shipped decreased by 12.5% to 71.5
million pairs. The decrease was mostly due to shipment delays amid lower operating
efficiency at some of the Group’s manufacturing facilities in China and other countries
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic delayed work resumption at the
Group’s factories in China after the Lunar New Year; it also adversely impacted its
supply chain, resulting in a shortage of certain raw materials. This also led to additional
production capacity adjustments in China and other countries. The average selling price
increased by 4.1% to US$16.36 per pair, as compared with the same period of last year.

The Group’s total revenue with respect to the manufacturing business (including
footwear, as well as soles, components and others) during the period was US$1,261.4
million, representing a decrease of 9.6% as compared with the same period of last year.

During the period, the revenue attributable to Pou Sheng, the Group’s retail subsidiary,
decreased by 27.5% to US$708.1 million, compared to US$976.1 million in the same
period of last year. In RMB terms (Pou Sheng’s reporting currency), revenue during the
first three months in 2020 decreased by 25.0% to RMB4,947.1 million, compared to
RMB6,597.0 million in the same period of last year. The decrease was a result of various
strict control measures implemented by the Chinese government to contain the spread of
COVID-19, which resulted in the temporary closure of Pou Sheng’s business offices and
retail stores between Lunar New Year and mid-March 2020.

Gross Profit
During the period, the Group’s gross profit decreased by 33.4% to US$415.9 million.
The gross profit of the manufacturing business decreased by 21.9% to US$198.2 million
whilst the gross profit margin contracted by 2.5 percentage points to 15.7%, as compared
to the same period in 2019. The decrease in the gross profit margin for the manufacturing
business was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s operations and
adjustments made to its production capacity.

Selling & Distribution Expenses and Administrative Expenses
The Group’s total selling and distribution expenses during the period amounted to
US$234.2 million (2019: US$313.9 million), equivalent to approximately 11.9% (2019:
12.7%) of revenue.

Administrative expenses for the period were US$185.0 million (2019: US$158.9
million), equivalent to approximately 9.4% (2019: 6.4%) of revenue.

Share of Results of Associates and Joint Ventures
During the period, the share of results from associates and joint ventures was a combined
profit of US$4.9 million, compared to a combined profit of US$4.7 million recorded in
the same period of last year.

Outlook
The spread of COVID-19 to the US and Europe had severely dampened global consumer
demand for athletic footwear, the chain effect of which is negatively affecting both
footwear manufacturers and sports retailers. In addition, government lockdowns and
other social distancing measures being imposed in various Southeast Asian countries to
contain the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to further hinder the operating efficiency of
the Group’s manufacturing facilities in this region. This, together with uncertainty about
demand, may result in temporary factory closures and further adjustments to the Group’s
production capacity.

                                            6
There is still great uncertainty around how the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to
impact orders and sales visibility for the Group’s various business segments, which will
inevitably impact its performance throughout the remainder of 2020. In view of the
challenges and uncertainties ahead, the Group will continue to proactively monitor the
situation and impose cost control measures as appropriate. The Group will also focus on
its cash flow management, including adopting a more prudent approach when evaluating
capital expenditure projects in 2020.
